This intimate knowledge is for protection and to be a help.
This reality is staggering to David, beyond comprehension.

The billions of possibilities that came together to make us individually means we
are unique, special, and loved.
When we know that, live conscious of that, it should result in praise.

Our lives, the way we are, contain loving purpose.
We are special to God.
No wonder Satan works so hard to convince us that we are accidents; don't buy the lie.
We should know better.

God's thoughts and plans for us are "precious" and without number!
He is not detached. He is not uncaring.
He is continually aware and cares every moment of every day.
David's reaction and loyalty Ps. 139:19-22
Remember the historical context!
"hate" = "to reject them, to disavow any association with them"
God's enemies were David's enemies.
David's reaction and loyalty Ps. 139:23-24
David wanted God to affirm his loyalty and find anything within him not consistent with his commitment to an extended life now and
the way of eternity.
